'Best of the Northwest' Wine Dinner January 22, 2010

On Friday January 22, 2010 at 7:30 p.m., the Ocean Crest Resort will host a wine dinner entitled "Best of the Northwest." This dinner, unlike all of the wine dinners we have ever offered, will feature seven wines from seven different Pacific Northwest wineries. The event will be hosted by myself, Ocean Crest Resort Wine & Spirit's Director Stephen Pavletich.

The wines I've chosen to be featured at the dinner are some of the most important Pacific Northwest wines ever released. Included are both of the Northwest's only 100 point wines (the Charles Smith "Royal City" and the Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon) as well as the highest scoring white wine to ever come out of the region (the Chateau Ste. Michelle).


The seven wines to be featured at the dinner are, in order:

Chehalem "Ian's Reserve" Chardonnay 2006
Ken Wright Nysa Vineyard Pinot Noir 2006
Charles Smith "Royal City" Syrah 2006
Andrew Will "Sorella" 2006
Leonetti Merlot 2005
Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Chateau Ste. Michelle "Ethos" Late Harvest White Riesling 2006


Reservations are required and space is extremely limited. Reservations can be made by calling the Ocean Crest at 800-684-8429 or by e-mail me at stephen@oceancrestresort.com.


The dinner is currently priced at $250.00 per person, but a final decision on price will be made once the menu for the dinner has been decided.

More details will be posted here on my blog as soon as final decisions are made.

Cheers!
